International group 7319 Egis is to provide the municipality of Amsterdam in the Netherlands with the operation of on-street parking services of the city, under a four-year contract with a possible four-year extension.
Egis will replace the current operator Cition and will take over part of its existing staff. The contract involves an implementation period of six months after which the take-over of staff will become effective in 2016. Through the operator back-office, Egis will manage approximately 150,000 parking spaces, 180,000 long-term parking permits and 2,400 parking meters.
Amsterdam’s on-street parking enforcement system uses cars equipped with scanners which drive around the city paid parking areas in order to check licence plates, reducing the need for parking enforcement officers. The scanned plates, as well as the associated GPS data of the parked cars are transmitted from the car to the enforcement back office which remotely checks the parking rights for each scanned licence plate.
Egis welcomed what it says is its first on-street parking contract abroad. Rik Joosten, chief executive officer of Egis Projects, said “Our goal is to achieve a high rate of payment of on-street parking. To achieve this, we will aim at a better turnover of resident vehicles and a greater respect of on-street parking payment.”
